Mobile Home Roofing in Eustis, Florida.

The clearest way to show what we do on mobile homes is the work itself. These are real jobs from our own records. We name the town, never the customer or the street.

Early in 2026 an Eustis homeowner had two problems on one manufactured home. The aluminum pan roof over the sunroom was worn out: chalky, stained skins, rust bleeding from the screw heads, and old sealant smeared along the edge. Inside the main house, the owner wanted the kitchen range hood vented out through the roof.

We fixed the sunroom roof by taking it apart, not by coating over it. The old pan roof covering came off and the tired insulation under it went to the dump. New faced polyiso insulation with a radiant barrier went down, then new pan roof skins, then a new fascia valance along the edge. Every exposed fastener, penetration and flashing was fastened and sealed before we called it done.

For the vent, we took the hood down, cut a clean hole up through the cabinet, the ceiling and the roof, ran a flue, set a roof vent and sealed around it, then put the hood back. A new hole in a mobile home roof is where leaks start if it is rushed, so the roof side got the same attention as the sunroom. Both jobs were invoiced and paid in full. The photos on this page are from that home.

In October 2026 two calls came in from the Eustis side of the county. In Mount Dora, a roof leak on a mobile home had brought part of the ceiling and hallway down. Caleb tarped it that evening, covering the lower roof, up the wall and over the back side of the home. Two days later in Altoona, on a 1969 manufactured home with a leaking joint where the pan roof met the house, we had a tarp on that evening. Both were $300 and both were paid the same day. A tarp is not a repair, but it stops the water while a real price is worked out.

In Leesburg we soft washed a mobile home metal roof, replaced every roof vent and boot, and put new color-matched #12 screws in place of the old ones, with closure strips in the valleys and under the ridge. On another Leesburg home, a rusting metal roof covered in old patches got a full silicone coating system. Both are paid jobs, and they are the same kind of work we do in Eustis.

We pulled those numbers from the county's own permit records. The county only permits unincorporated land, so these are mobile homes around Eustis, not inside city limits. Homes inside Eustis city limits are permitted by the City of Eustis and are not in this count.

Around Eustis the mix leans toward shingles: of the 73 local permits, 42 were shingle, 22 TPO and 9 metal. Grand Island had the most with 15, then Mount Dora with 12, Tavares 11, Eustis 10 and Paisley 10. Sunlake Estates in Grand Island alone had 7. Around Eustis that means a mix of older homes with shingles, homes with membrane roof-overs, and original aluminum pan roofs on carports and sunrooms that have been patched for years.

The median job value written on those county permits was about $10,000. By roof type it was about $9,500 for shingle, about $10,200 for metal and about $12,000 for TPO. Those are the values contractors put on the permit, not final bills, but they are a fair guide to what a full mobile home reroof costs in Lake County right now.

Most mobile homes around Eustis have one of four roofs, and each fails in its own way.

The ribbed aluminum roof that came on many older homes, and on most carports, sunrooms and porch roofs added later. It leaks at the screws, at the seams between pans, and where the pan roof meets the house. A pan roof can often be saved with a soft wash and sealant at every screw and seam. When the skins are chalky, dented and patched over and over, as they were on the Eustis sunroom above, new skins over new insulation is the better spend.

Ribbed steel or aluminum panels screwed through the face. After years of Florida sun the rubber washers under the screw heads dry out and crack, and every screw becomes a small leak. Replacing the screws with new, oversized, color-matched ones, re-flashing the vents and adding closure strips is often enough. A silicone coating over the whole roof is the next step up.

A single-ply membrane over the existing roof is the common roof-over for a low-slope mobile home. Done right it goes over a recover board or new insulation, with heat-welded seams and every penetration flashed. It is a good roof for a flat or nearly flat home, and it is light.

Shingles show up on mobile homes with enough pitch to shed water. The catch is weight and deck: many manufactured homes have thin roof decking and light trusses, so a shingle reroof means checking the deck before anyone promises a price.

We would rather show you real numbers than a range pulled from a national website. Every figure below is a price we have written or been paid on a manufactured home in 2026.

What moves the price is size, what is under the current roof, and how many layers are already up there. A tarp, a vent or a sealed seam is a few hours. A full roof-over is days of work and a permit. Every price we send is a written, firm number for the scope on the page, and the inspection and estimate are free. Repairs carry a 1-year workmanship warranty and full replacements up to 10 years, in writing.

A mobile home roof is not just a smaller house roof. A few rules decide what can go up and who has to sign off.

If the home is inside Eustis city limits, the reroof permit comes from the City of Eustis Building Department. Many mobile homes with an Eustis mailing address sit outside city limits, and those are permitted by Lake County Building Services in Tavares. We check the tax roll before we quote so the permit is filed with the right office the first time.

In a land-lease park you own the home and the park owns the ground. There is often no parcel on the tax roll for your lot at all. The contract is with you as the home owner, and many parks also want to approve roofing work, colors and work hours before a crew shows up. Ask your park office early. It costs nothing and saves a stalled job.

Florida's manufactured home repair and remodeling rule (Fla. Admin. Code 15C-2.0081) says additions, including add-a-rooms, roof-overs and porches, must be free standing and self-supporting, with only the flashing attached to the main unit, unless the addition was designed to be married to the home. That matters for carports, sunrooms and the older style of roof-over that is built as its own structure above the home. We do not hang a new porch roof off the side of a mobile home.

The Florida Building Code does not allow a new roof to be laid over two existing roof coverings. If your mobile home already has shingles over the original metal, or a coating over an old roof-over, a new roof-over is off the table and the job becomes a tear-off. We look for this on the first visit, because it changes the price more than anything else.

Water in a mobile home moves fast. Ceilings are thin panels, the insulation above them holds water, and the floor decking under a wet spot is often particleboard that swells and gives way. The Mount Dora home above lost part of a ceiling and a hallway before anyone was on the roof.

If your mobile home roof is leaking in Eustis, here is what we do. We come out, find where the water is getting in, and if it cannot be fixed that day, we tarp it that day. On the next visit you get photos of what we found and a written price for the real fix, which might be sealing the screws and seams, rebuilding the joint where an addition meets the house, coating the roof, or replacing it.

Most leaks we find on mobile homes around Eustis come from a short list: dried-out screw washers on metal roofs, failed seams on pan roofs, the joint where a carport or sunroom roof meets the home, vent stacks and AC curbs, and old patches that have cracked. That is why our first step is always a close look, not a sales pitch for a new roof. Our shop is on Kurt Street in Eustis, so most of these calls are a short drive for us.

Many of the mobile home roof calls we get are not about the home itself. They are about what was built next to it: an aluminum carport, a screened porch, a Florida room or a utility shed tucked against the wall. Those add-ons usually have their own thin pan roof, and the weak spot is almost always the seam where that roof butts into the side or eave of the main unit.

Because Florida's rule keeps those structures self-supporting, the joint is held together by flashing and sealant, not framing. Every summer the metal swells in the afternoon heat and shrinks again after an evening thunderstorm, and that movement slowly tears the caulk loose. Water then runs down the inside of the wall and shows up as a stain on a ceiling panel or a soft spot in the floor, sometimes feet away from where it got in.

The fix depends on what is left. A sound joint gets cleaned to bare metal, re-fastened and sealed with fabric-reinforced silicone. A pan roof whose skins are corroded or dented gets new skins, the way the Eustis sunroom on this page did. When a carport has started to sag or pull away, we say so plainly, because sealant will not hold a joint that is still moving.

A manufactured home has very little attic. On many models the ceiling, a few inches of insulation and the roof sheet are almost one sandwich, so an August afternoon in Eustis drives a lot of heat straight into the living room. That is also why a mobile home roof sweats: warm, damp air from showers, cooking and the dryer meets the cool underside of the metal at night, and the drips look exactly like a leak.

Three things help. First, insulation where you can add it: on the Eustis sunroom we installed faced polyiso board with a radiant barrier under the new skins, which keeps the room cooler and the metal drier. Second, a light, reflective surface: white silicone or a white membrane reflects far more sun than bare, chalky aluminum. Third, moving moist air out: a kitchen hood vented through the roof, like the one we cut in Eustis, and a bathroom fan that actually reaches outside.

Before we price a leak repair we look for these signs of condensation, such as rust on the underside, wet insulation with no hole above it, or drips only on cool mornings. Sealing a roof that is not leaking does not fix a moisture problem, and we would rather tell you that than sell you a coating.

A few minutes twice a year will catch most problems while they are still cheap.
